(2005) Side Story – Title
For quite some time I’ve needed a break. I’ve kept a steady update schedule for a long time now, so the idea of a break had me worried about breaking my streak or losing readers during a hiatus. But I’m happy to say that I’ve found a way to have a break AND provide you with MORE updates than you’re used to. How?
TIME TRAVEL!
I traveled back eight years and convinced 2005 Hawk to spend his summer break creating some extra pages of Culture Shock. I didn’t want to spoil the comic for him so I had him work on a side story. Now here I am, back in the present with 14 pages of comic that I will post three times a week. I should warn you, 2005 Hawk is a TERRIBLE artist, and an even worse writer, so not only will this comic look kind of bad, but its story is hammy and stupid, and I’m ashamed of it. But it DOES fill you in on some backstory.
Oh, also, 2005 Hawk is a bastard and he couldn’t wait for people to read the comic so he submitted it to the Drunk Duck Anthology, which means an extremely small percentage of you have read this in print already. I hate 2005 Hawk. But if you follow along you’ll get the benefit of author commentary and new information.
Also keep in mind that I might actually speed up the posting process on this, depending on how much break I think I need, and how embarrassed I am that this story is being seen when people go to my site. “Oh, is this that Culture Shock comic I’ve heard about? The art is bad, and the story is hammy and stupid.”
Anyway, kick back and try to tolerate the 2005 adventure of Vivian and the Three Little Pigs.
Everyone hates 2005 Hawk.
Looking at this old comic, it strikes me that Brooke’s face looks almost exactly the same. …she’s showing an unusual amount of skin though… maybe 2005 Hawk isn’t so bad.
I suspect 2013 Hawk is being too hard on 2005 Hawk.
Thank you for sharing this comic with us, Hawk (whichever version is seeing this comment)!
I’ve actually been waiting to get to know the character Vivian. I’ve been a big fan of this webcomic for a couple of years now. I’m a bit of an amateur writer myself, and my early work was terrible. But doing it slowly improved my writing skills and vocabulary a bit.
I heard of this little sidestory comic a while back, so I’m ecstatic to finally see it.
When you went back in time did you make sure not to look at the time vortex or did you have to go 88 mph?
The story is… “Hammy.”
Eyyyy!!!!
Stupid past self is always screwing over my future self which is now my current self. ??? Stupid time travel. :3
I have this anthology piece. It sits next to my own 2005 anthology comic shame. Enjoy your break from your comic to work. LOL. XD
